“When new life stirs within the womb, and a mother has the sensation of her baby moving within her for the first time, it’s called “quickening.” The same word is associated with pilgrims, who go to sacred places to “quicken” the divinity within themselves, to experience spiritual awakening or receive a blessing or become healed….
